I’m surprised you genuinely believe this. Western sensibilities absolutely value this centrally.

That’s because they are English, and have English names. English names are over-represented in Hollywood for obvious reasons

It’s always an interesting discussion when we raise the question of:

If people who are born with disabilities and intellectual impairments get special treatment, what is the threshold for being so stupid that you can’t be considered responsible for your actions (or be expected not to be manipulated or misled)?

There is a strong argument that people who aren’t that smart can’t really be held accountable for their actions, as its beyond their control.

Obesity is a bodily state based on inputs and outputs

Xenophobia is irrational fear. There is plenty of rational fears, particularly for working class people who see their existence challenged on a daily basis.

What the general narrative suggests (and what you seem to be approaching here too) is disingenuously characterising much of this fear as one of superiority - or in other words predatory, superior views and behaviour. It’s nearly always fear of the unknown, or of threats, whatever those might be.

Could you unpack this a bit for discussions sake

Unpopular take incoming: The Left is principally made up of people who are Agreeable, so they want to help others rather than win resources over others. What happened is the Left are unable to draw lines and limits on certain issues for fear of causing pain. The end result is this alienates a lot of swing voters, often in the working classes.

The Left has always been a haven of the middle classes. They become so preoccupied with calling working class people bigots / stupid, that they forget that the working classes often feel the impact of politics more strongly and are more incentivised to vote.

This is an issue with the left deviating from reason and reality due to an increasing population of younger left wing supporters who have barely spent any time in physical reality, being the most online generation yet. Some of the physical realities that affect the largely natively white working class population in western european countries simply do not occur to these middle class, left wing people.

Migrant workers competing for jobs and class (being told they are better than you and being passed over on jobs by them), eco friendly and green societal initiatives making things often less functional and more expensive, etc etc.

One could blame the ruling classes for some of these elements but truth be told, the bottom half of the middle classes start feeling these effects, they start to see a different perspective too.

Politics has always, and will always follow Economics.

This and your username simply reads as short-sighted, uneducated and immature. Not all change is good, and by definition, some things being conserved is good. However, the balance must be struck, and in the UK we have a long and reasonable history of it ocillating between polarities every few years.

However, 23 years of Conservative rule is not anything close to balance. Austerity and all. Change is sorely needed. The profiteering and upward soak of money must tilt in the other direction for a while, for the sake of people like in the original post.

Reasonable. Im sure my assertion wasnt 100% watertight

I don’t wish to be cruel or unpleasant and i appreciate the reply, but this really doesnt grasp what i outlined before

… that doesn’t invalidate my point at all - their choice of religious affiliation does not define the religion. Just as in my example, the theoretical “Terrorists of America” don’t get to define what American values are, just because of their name. A counter group could take a similar “America” themed name with completely opposite values and objectives and it wouldn’t mean jack shit.

If terrorists decided to use “America” as branding, then saying “home of the brave my ass” would be as equally invalid a statement.

No, its not.
